We are a group of Clinical Social Workers providing individual and couples therapy both in person or via telehealth in Santa Rosa.

When life seems overwhelming, sometimes the most important thing is knowing you aren't alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 10 years of experience providing therapy for adults, teens, and couples. I specialize in helping people recover from trauma and use a variety of techniques including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults as they navigate challenging life transitions. I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients.

I believe we all have multiple aspects to our personalities shaped by our years of living. Together, we look at how past experiences influence one's current choices and feelings. Sometimes it can be difficult to regulate all of these feelings, which can affect relationships, parenting and self esteem. I provide a safe, nurturing therapeutic place to explore these issues, and help restore happiness to one's life.

Have you ever felt like the stresses in your life were overwhelming? Do you sometimes feel unprepared to deal with the demands of parenting? Are there challenges or conflicts within your family? Are complex changes in your life confusing you about what to do? Are you searching for understanding, some new tools or some new ways to create more peacefulness in your life?

My 31 years of experience have entailed providing both psychotherapeutic counseling as well as case management support to disabled & elderly clients, Hospice & dialysis social work. I work with adults of all ages. Each decade has its own challenges. Anxiety, depression, addictions, insecurities, relational issues, health and other issues of all kinds can hamper us at any age. For my clients, I love to use my heart, experience, training & faith practices to create a safe place and provide support to overcome what’s holding them back---to help empower them to reach the fullness, freedom and joy of their own lives and relationships.

Anxious? Depressed? Stuck? Relationship Problems? Loss of life meaning, purpose or direction? Welcome to my practice! In looking to address important problems, you are taking a crucial step. Finding the right therapist is essential. I am a certified Jungian Analyst and trained psychologist. If you have questions, call for a 15 minute phone consultation at no charge. I am here to help! In a confidential, caring and supportive environment, I aim to restore the whole person to health - mind, body, and spirit.

Currently Accepting New Clients I work with adults of all ages, identities and cultural backgrounds for individual, couples, and adult family therapy. Each stage in life brings new challenges. I support clients who are struggling with general life stressors, adjusting to new life circumstances, struggling with mood and anxiety, dealing with traumatic experiences, problematic substance use, family conflict and relationships in general. I also provide guidance for self-exploration leading to personal growth. Therapy focuses on discovering how your past experiences contribute to where you are now, and helps you see your way forward.

I utilize a holistic and integrative approach that offers a safe, supportive setting, using dream analysis, mindfulness, art therapy, journaling, meditation and other creative ways leading to an authentic and more rewarding life. From my studies under Rev. Kawakami, deputy head priest of Shunkoin Temple in Kyoto in Mindfulness and Zen Meditation, I have developed this therapeutic approach that treats, balances, and nourishes the mind, body, emotions, and soul. I use a variety of therapeutic perspectives and techniques including Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Jungian, and Mindfulness-based interventions.

I work with people who have Medicare insurance. My clients come to see me because they are in need to talk to someone about the changes in their lives, as they get older, as well as their feelings and needs around being isolated from the pandemic. As people age and reflect on their lives, some things can come up that need to be discussed or released and my practice offers a safe space to do so. Some people have a need for a therapist who can provide tele-health services over the phone or on a video chat and I offer these options to my clientele.

Sometimes it's time to make a change and deepen our understanding of ourselves and others. Therapy can be quite helpful in this process through providing a safe, non-judgmental relationship from which to grow. I've been in private practice for over 20 years and I work with adults, couples, adolescents, and children from 5 years old and up. I would like you to know that you are not alone in this journey of growth and healing. I would like to come along side you as you improve and deepen your relationship with yourself and with others.

Hi, I welcome and look forward to meeting you. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and believe we all have great capacity to heal ourselves and our relationships. As a therapist, I am interactive, compassionate, intuitive and humorous. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment and what is important to you is important to me.

I am a compassionate Solution Focused Therapist, who specializes in helping children, teens, individuals, and families cope with the aftermath of trauma. Whether there has been abuse, an assault, bullying, or the experience of witnessing a troubling event, I can help you or your child work through the transition and develop new coping strategies that can be successfully applied in the home, school, and work settings. I also have experience working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, psychosis, suicidality, and other chronic challenges.

Is there something in your life that you want to change but are uncertain how to begin? I’m here to help. My goal is to help you get what you need by actively listening and providing you with the skills and tools to overcome your obstacles and make that change. Because every person is different, I offer a person-centered approach to exploring and tackling the unique challenges you’re experiencing. As an openly gay parent in a loving long-term interracial marriage, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to process and work through issues.

Do you find that you just can’t let go of your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors? Wouldn’t you like to just put it all behind you and move on to living a happier and fuller life? I can help you do just that. I help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, behavioral challenges, stress, and much more. Whether caused by natural disaster, childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, betrayal, divorce, death, critical illness, military combat, violent crime, LGBTQ struggles, relationship issues, or something else, I understand, I care, and I have the clinical expertise to help you.

I have over 20 years of experience serving clients across the life span. In my current practice, I draw from my training in trauma informed care (EMDR) and Emotionally Focused therapy to offer treatment to individuals, couples and families. I also have a focus of practice in the area of perinatal care.

Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you (as a result of what happens to you). -Dr. Gabor Mate.

My clients are looking for a compassionate guide to help them build confidence, reduce anxiety and overcome negative limited beliefs. When we are overwhelmed and isolated, life can feel unmanageable. Together we can find a new way forward. I support my clients in working through grief, anxiety, anger, and depression through an integrated approach that increases emotional intelligence, building meaningful relationships, challenging negative self talk. When we can resolve our own internal conflicts we can be empowered in ways that deepen our connections with others.

We are the therapy office for people who don't like therapy. Our belief is that therapy doesn't have to be the uncomfortable, somewhat formal experience that most people expect. We have 2 therapy dogs, Jackson and Larry to greet you when you come in the door. Larry is Jackson's understudy and is still quite ..well ... enthusiastic in greeting clients (as long as you're not the mailman). For privacy, we have no on Mendocino Ave, but once you get inside you'll know that you're in the right place. We talk to you like one human to another to help you sort out what's going on in your world and how we can help.
